Showing leadership, enthusiasm and innovative ideas throughout the re-launch of the YLG and all our initiatives since. I am very excited about the future of the YLG and what Matt can bring as its leader. I would also like to thank Mike Millian and the board of the PMTC for the exceptional opportunity to serve as leader of the YLG for the last 2 plus years. It has been a tremendous honor and I can’t thank everyone enough. Thank you and please join me in congratulating Matt in his new role”
